Quoting Talib Kweli, "Give me the fortune, keep the fame".

Though I agree with your sentiment as it applies in broad strokes I'd like to sell some software, make ~$10M, and be a recluse.

I don't even need the $10M, though, I'd be happy to not have to wake up at 7 o'clock, rush to the train, then sit at a desk all day.

Absolutely agree with this. My time is what I want, not money, though it would be nice.

And being famous would be a nightmare for me.

Debbie Harry sang this in 1989:

"I'll keep the money, you can have the fame"

Huh, didn't realize this was such a popular sentiment: Tupac, 1996: "All I want is money, fuck the fame, I'm a simple man" https://genius.com/41188
